description_en: Genus of over 500 species of evergreen trees and shrubs found in all but the driest habitats, mainly in Australia, but also in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Melanesia. They are valued for their often aromatic foliage and their attractive bark. Young plants (and sucker shoots) generally have opposite leaves, developing alternate ones as they mature. The petalless flowers, composed of many showy, usually white or creamy yellow, sometimes red stamens, are usually borne in umbels. Most gum trees are best planted as specimens. In frost-prone areas, grow half-hardy and tender species in a cool greenhouse and stand them outside in summer.
